A Nigerian lady attempting to smuggle drug in a bag of noodles from Lagos to Malaysia has been arrested.

The suspect identified as Gloria Ezeabata was arrested during the inward screening of passengers on an Ethiopian airline at the departure hall.

Ezeabata, who works with an accounting firm in Lagos, admitted having a Facebook relationship that got her involved in drug trafficking.

She said: “I met a man on Facebook some months ago who lives in Malaysia. He told me while chatting online that he is from my state, Anambra in South-East, Nigeria. After some months, he proposed marriage and I told him to come to Nigeria to meet my parents as our custom demands. He promised to fulfill every marriage rite. “Months later, he invited me to Malaysia, promising to pay all the travel expenses. After several appeals, I decided to visit him.

The day I was to travel, he told me to take along a bag of foodstuff sent by his mother from the village. I was given the bag at the airport but in the process of checking it in, drug was discovered inside packs of noodles in the bag and I was arrested.”

Substances that tested positive for methamphetamine weighing 1.325kg were detected in her luggage. It was concealed in 26 packs of noodles

The man who prepared Gloria’s travel documents and gave her the bag of drugs, one Philip Akpaka(pictured above) also admitted that she prepared Gloria’s documents on the request of his friend based in Malaysia.

He said:

“I’m a transporter. My friend in Malaysia asked me to prepare travel documents for Gloria. He also asked me to give a bag to Gloria to take to Malaysia.”

PEOPLE SHUD BE VERY CAREFUL WHO THEY HELP TO CARRY LUGAGES .GLORIA , GOD WILL SAVE YOU . WETIN HUSBAND MATTER GO CAUSE 4 NIGERIA ?NO BE SMALL .

So painful my dear Gloria, I shed tears for you. But am very happy that u were caught in Nigeria, if u were caught in Malaysia it would hv been death sentence, just thank your God. The Almighty God will set you free as an innocent woman.

I am glad she was arrested at murital international airport and they can listen to her side of stories and the person who did the documents and gave her the bag is there as witness i live in malaysia and if she eventually arrive and caught, it is death penalty, innocent lady will just die for nothing sake

We have to be careful and watchful of people we choose has friends be it online and offline. There is no free gift anywhere in the world, is either she is innocent, naive or combination of both. One Malaysia Nigerian drug trafficker contacted Ms. GLORIA on Facebook, and in a short while, processed her traveling documents, paid for the traveling ticket and the visa without any hidden agenda or goals? I want to believe that this woman is innocent because the bag containing those hard drugs were delivered to her at the airport. She was very luck that the person who delivered the bag to her also confessed. My advice for the NDLEA is to review the camera to verify the truth, Ms. Gloria should be set free as soon as the camera footage match up with her history. My people let us be more cautious and very careful both online and offline. She is a very lucky woman because she was caught in Nigeria and not in the lion’s den Malaysia.

Sorry for her it’s cos of her ambition to get marry to that idiot in Malaysia that landed her in this mess,since it’s drug case law will not consider her rather she will face d consequences of her sin.
